Restarting the myth

"About fifty years ago, one night, the Nelson family held a grand dinner. In addition to family members returning from other places, they also invited important figures in the town, such as the priest, the mayor, and members of the town council..."

The innkeeper recalled: "Halfway through the banquet, members of the Nelson family suddenly attacked. They locked the gate of the manor and attacked every guest present. They killed, set fire, drank blood, and hung the bodies of the victims on flagpoles."

"The priest and several members of the council escaped from the manor, but the crazy Nelson family did not intend to stop. They rode to the town to continue the massacre. That night, the town was full of flames and the victims' cries for help..."

"I was still a child at the time. I was terrified. My parents sent me to the church in the middle of the night. All the children in the town gathered there."

"In order to resist the inhumane Nelson family and to protect their homes and children, the townspeople organized a counterattack. At the moment of dawn, they successfully drove the lunatics of the Nelson family back to the manor."

"At that time, the manor was already on fire, and the flames engulfed the vicious lunatics. It is said that they were still singing and laughing while bathing in the flames, dancing hand in hand, as if death was their longed-for destination..."

"Afterwards, the people from Lendan investigated for a long time. After experiencing this great change, the priests and councillors became eccentric one by one, and the townspeople were also like this. Many people left and moved to other places to live, and never returned to their hometown."

The crazy night happened fifty years ago. It is a horrible taboo that the town of Kafuno is reluctant to mention. This incident directly led to the decline of the town, and it has not recovered to this day.

Because of the long time, the innkeeper was still a child at the time, and the information he could provide was very limited. When Veronica asked whether any members of the Nelson family survived that night, the innkeeper looked confused.

There should be, otherwise it is difficult to explain Mike's surname.

…

Outside the window, the rainstorm continued and was getting worse.

Wayne was very upset. It was sunny in the morning, but suddenly it took a sharp turn. If the weather continued, it would turn into a snowstorm in the mountain villa.

The innkeeper and the two young ladies had already left. After eating mushrooms, they would sleep soundly tonight and would not remember the interrogation process tonight. Just in case, Wayne played a full set and stuffed the toll into the young lady's collar according to the market price.

He paid, and Veronica treated.

Veronica held the black cat in her arms and stood in front of the window thinking. Based on simple intelligence, it can be inferred that the Nelson family was originally a loyal believer of the goddess of death. They created killings to win the favor of the goddess, and passed it on to Mike, and once again received the favor of death.

This also explains why Mike suddenly became a death walker and mastered powerful magic.

The question is, did Mike return to the town of Kafuno really to get married?

"Compared to getting married, the biggest possibility is to continue the unfinished work of the ancestors and sacrifice the entire town to death in exchange for powerful power." Wayne frowned.

I will complete the unfinished work of the ancestors, and I will slaughter the sacrifices that the family has not slaughtered. This is the routine, and it will not be wrong.

William nodded and put down the chocolate in his hand, indicating that Wayne and his ideas coincided, which is called tacit understanding.

Wayne didn't want to, looking at Veronica, wanting to have a tacit understanding with the beautiful girl.

Veronica pondered for a while and decided to go to Nelson Manor immediately. Time waits for no one. Who knows what process Mike's sacrifice has reached. In order to prevent innocent townspeople and them from becoming victims, the Death Walker must be solved tonight.

At this time, Veronica gave up the idea of ​​removing the curse. In terms of priority, stopping the sacrifice is more important.

It was raining heavily, and the blue car passed through the oak forest under the rain curtain. In order to avoid disturbing the target, Wayne drove in the dark without turning on the lights.

Oak Forest Road is the only road in the town leading to Nelson Manor. After the manor was burned down and became a terrifying taboo, the townspeople never set foot here. Due to years of disrepair, the road was overgrown with weeds, and the accumulation of rotten fallen leaves made the broken road muddy and slippery.

It took Wayne ten minutes to drive two miles.

Seeing the ruins of the manor from a distance, Wayne parked the car at the exit of Oak Forest Road, and the three people and the cat walked forward with an umbrella.

Rumble---

The pale thunder streaked across the night sky, and the manor shrouded in darkness suddenly became bright.

Rather than a manor, it is better to say that it is a castle, with towering walls on all sides and several towers overlooking the distance. The castle gate is nowhere to be found, and it looks like a big open mouth in the dark.

Entering the gate, the original garden square is desolate and messy, with dead grass and withered shrubs everywhere, as well as cross tombstones.

The townspeople will definitely not be buried here, and they will not have time to hide. If the material is correct, the remains of the members of the Nelson family are buried here.

Monica was sharp-eyed and saw a bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone. It was very fresh, indicating that someone had come to sweep the tomb recently.

Then Monica found something strange. There were a lot of candle ashes in front of the tombstone. Some candles were burned out, and some were left with a small piece. The number was not small, indicating that people often came here to sweep the tomb.

If this person is Mike, he will return to the town of Kafuno every year. If not...

There are other members of the Nelson family alive.

Veronica took a deep breath and her expression became more solemn. She asked William to protect Wayne and walked in front holding the glass jar.

William followed closely behind, and Wayne walked side by side with him and was responsible for holding Monica.

Maomao was a little disgusted with Wayne's embrace, but the muddy ground was even more unbearable. After thinking about it, he had to do this.

They were all believers of the Moonlight Goddess, so there was nothing wrong with being close to each other!

The wooden buildings of the manor were burned down by the fire, leaving only ruins buried by weeds. The attic relying on the stone castle was preserved. Wayne was worried about the traps, so he walked behind Veronica.

It was because his magic power was sealed. Veronica was a descendant of dragon blood and had the strongest combat power in the team. William...

He was a good man!

This position made Veronica very uncomfortable. She turned around and glared at Wayne. It was too dark, so Wayne didn't see it because Veronica suddenly stopped and bumped into the other person without paying attention.

Several people walked forward in the dark in the castle passage. There were several observation ports on the outer wall, the size of a fist. Occasionally, lightning flashed in. With Monica's guidance, they did not go around in circles.

After an unknown amount of time, Monica suspected that she was lost, and Wayne stopped.

He called Veronica in front of him, pointed to the brick wall beside him and said: "I can smell the smell of strangers, not ours. I have never been on this road. Look carefully. There must be a mechanism nearby to open the secret passage."

As he said that, he stroked Monica's cat head: "Cats have a more sensitive sense of smell than dogs. You should have smelled it too, right?"

Monica turned her head to avoid it and said nothing. Veronica couldn't help it, rolled her eyes, and said bluntly: "What do you mean, you have a dog's nose?"

"..."

Although, it really is!

Veronica didn't believe Wayne's dog's nose, but she agreed with Wayne's guess that there must be a mechanism passage in the castle, and the Death Walker was hiding in a corner.

Several people groped around, looking for the mechanism to open the door. William accidentally touched the mechanism, and his feet were empty. He subconsciously grabbed Wayne's arm next to him, and the two fell directly down the slide.

Wayne looked depressed. He stretched out his hand to pull someone down with him, but Veronica was too far away and he couldn't reach her.

Monica dodged.

As we all know, a cat is 7 times faster than a cat. At the moment of falling, she stepped on Wayne's shoulder to take advantage of the force and jumped, landing safely on the ground.

Veronica hurried forward and looked at the dark slide. There was a bright light below, and Wayne's full-blooded scolding, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter if you fall, as long as you are fine.

The heavy rain stopped suddenly, and the dark and gloomy sky seemed to have pressed the switch button. The unreasonably huge moon sprinkled silver light all over the earth.

Monica jumped on Veronica's shoulder, looked at the observation port, and sensed the strange atmosphere in the moonlight. Her pupils were dilated to the limit:

"The town..."

"There's a fire!"
